Sigfides vs Local SEO Tools
Sigfides is not a replacement for BrightLocal, Yext, Local Falcon or citation tools —
it fixes the identity, NAP and proximity problems those tools cannot see.
Local SEO tools work best only when your identity is already correct
Most tools assume your business identity is already stable.
In reality, many businesses have:
- inconsistent names across GBP, website & directories
- old addresses still indexed & crawled
- multiple phone formats or historic tracking numbers
- coordinates & pin locations that don’t match reality
- schema data that contradicts what’s on the page
When these signals conflict, tools collect and amplify
confusing versions of your business.
What Sigfides does that tools do not
Sigfides aligns the structural signals that determine trust:
- Canonical NAP identity (one true name, address & phone)
- Verified coordinates & entrance-accurate pins
- Schema that matches real-world identity
- GBP URL & landing page coherence
- Crawl & sitemap signal integrity
Once identity is canonical, tools become:
More accurate
More reliable
Less noisy
How Sigfides & popular tools work together
After Sigfides alignment:
- BrightLocal audits reflect the correct entity
- Yext syncs & listings reinforce one identity
- Local Falcon grid results stabilise around truth
- GBP edits stop fighting conflicting sources
Sigfides prepares the foundation —
tools then build on a version of your business Google actually trusts.
